Radha Paudel’s story is a moving tale of courage, compassion, and selflessness. Her inspiration to journey to the remote region of Jumla to aid those in need stems from her father’s enduring message — that humans should always support one another in times of hardship. This principle becomes the guiding force behind Radha’s mission, and her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. The book grips the reader from the outset, opening with a chilling depiction of a war between police forces and Maoist insurgents. The vivid descriptions make it feel as though the reader is right there, witnessing the chaos and fear unfold. This introduction sets the tone for the rest of the narrative, reflecting the harsh realities of conflict-affected regions. While the book is short, it is undeniably impactful. This book is a must-read for those seeking inspiration or wishing to understand the depth of human resolve. Despite its brevity, it leaves a lasting impression and compels readers to reflect on their role in creating a more compassionate world.
